Roy Williams isn't about to waste $76,000.
When Roy Williams proposed to his girlfriend back in February, he went about it in a pretty interesting way.
Rather than getting all sappy and romantic and doing the traditional drop down onto one knee, Williams decided to propose via the United States Postal Service.
No, I'm not kidding.
When Williams proposed to his girlfriend of the time in Brooke Daniels, she turned him down and didn't give back the ring.
Now, he's planning to take Daniels to court in an effort to get it back according to Jon Vanderlaan of OA Online.
Roy Williams Jr. claims in a court filing that he should be able to regain possession of a $76,600 engagement ring he sent to Brooke Daniels, formerly a beauty pageant winner from Tomball.
Williams has declined to comment for the story, but in an affidavit signed by Williams, he claims he sent $5,000 for school and dental bills, a baseball for Daniels’ brother and — as a surprise — a recorded marriage proposal with the ring through the mail just before Valentine’s Day to Daniels. However, when Daniels declined the proposal, she did not return the ring.

That seems like an awful lot of effort to put forward, but Williams must've really liked her.
Maybe he sent the ring in the mail because he was afraid that he'd drop it if he proposed in person, as he's had a habit of doing that with footballs.
Williams has a history of disappearing when it most matters and has really failed to live up to expectations since being acquired by the Cowboys.
But this story gets even better.
After claiming that she had lost the ring, Daniels' father was found to have been in possession of it the entire time (again, via OA Online).
Williams said in the affidavit that he asked for the ring to be returned until Daniels claimed six weeks later that she had lost it, at which point he reported it lost to his insurance agency. The insurance investigation revealed that Daniels’ father, Michael Daniels, had the ring. He is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
It should be interesting to see which party comes out on top.
